    Key Matchup

    Al Harrington vs. Andrei Kirilenko

    Since his return, Andrei Kirilenko has slowly got better. However, he's not up to the level of play he was before the injury and his speed is lacking. Harrington can light it up for the Hawks if AK47 isn't ready. Kirilenko can't let Harrington get going, and he must contribute on offense as well.

    Prediction

    Jazz by 5.

    Boozer isn't ready to go!! In fact, they are discussing the possibility of putting him on the IL and bringing in a 10 day-er. And there's a high probability that Harpring will sit this one out as well.

    Matt Harpring is playing, and there are conflicting reports on Boozer's status. Some say he will go on the IL, some say he is ready to practise. Jerry Sloan is a tough coach, and if your ready to practise - your ready to play some.

    Jazz 96 Hawks 74. Big win, but that was expected against the Hawks. Raja Bell provided the Jazz with something they've been lacking all season in this game, 3 point shooting. He went 3-4 from 3. Kirilenko had another all around good game, and Okur lead Utah in scoring with 19. Kris Humphries played 21 minutes, he could work on his Free Throws though, 3-8 [​IMG] .
